Isn't the virus only viable for a week or so without a body? How long does it take cargo to cross the Atlantic/Pacific?

Nothing. It will do nothing. The holiday will end when the election is over and you'll be on the hook for all the unpaid taxes during the holiday come next filing season. If it happens, save 10% of your check, just in case.

I think Sanjay Gupta or some other expert said it can survive up to 72 hrs on hard non porous surfaces.

But other sources say how long it can survive is unclear:

Can the coronavirus live on soft surfaces like fabric or carpet? What about hard surfaces?

How long the new coronavirus can live on a soft surface — and more importantly, how easy or hard it is to spread this way — isn’t clear yet. So far, available evidence suggests it can be transmitted less easily from soft surfaces than frequently-touched hard surfaces, such as a doorknob or elevator button.
According to the WHO, coronaviruses may survive on surfaces for just a few hours or several days,  although many factors will influence this, including surface material and weather.

That’s why personal preventive steps like frequently washing hands with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand sanitizer, and wiping down often-touched surfaces with disinfectants or a household cleaning spray, are a good idea.

Not even. Try 2-3 days, even then most viruses rapidly decline in strength external to the host within hours

Not so long that the virus can’t jump through a few crew and still be transmissible, probably.

The Department of Homeland Security posted:


(WASHINGTON) Today President Donald J. Trump signed a Presidential Proclamation, which suspends the entry of most foreign nationals who have been in certain European countries at any point during the 14 days prior to their scheduled arrival to the United States. These countries, known as the Schengen Area, include: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland. This does not apply to legal permanent residents, (generally) immediate family members of U.S. citizens, and other individuals who are identified in the proclamation.

Trump getting the tax holiday passed is a way to make Bidet look like poo poo when/if it happens. He's going to say Biden wants to raise your taxes by ending the holiday for his base to crawl out and vote for him, then he'll ride it out to the end of the year and expire anyhow if he wins.

Welp, just got word of Sec Def doing stop movement to all level 3 countries. So now i have to get people who were about to PCS their access badges for our building reinstated.

Its been pretty shocking seeing the difference in response between the RoK and the US. I feel way safer being here than if i was back in the states.

Limbaugh is still yelling at everyone that it's just the flu. Hannity is yelling at everyone that Donnie has been saving lives since day one. Even if boomers are scared, they're retreating back into their fox news / limbaughian comfort holes.

They have no idea how bad we hosed up and it will only penetrate their cult mindset once people they know start dying. Even as it stands now, there are plenty of people to get Biden into office, but to get into Donnie's base? That's probably going to require deaths and even then, they'll probably just blame Obamacare mandating pregnancy coverage.

Wait until Biden is the nominee, then either Pence senses he has to abandon this sinking ship or Trump convinces him to leave, so that Trump can make Nikki Haley his VP for the 2020 election, taking the steam out of Biden about to choose a woman VP.
